TAG Heuer CAH1014.BT0718 Formula 1, August 3, 2010
This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAH1014.BT0718 Formula 1 Grande Date Chronograph Watch (Watch)
What's not to like? I bought the watch because I wanted something sporty to wear and this is "in your face" sporty and stands out just like a nice watch should. I like that it's all about keeping time and doesn't try to be anything it's not. I like that it's a limited addition with only 10,000 made which gives it a boost of owner satisfaction and storyline. I would at times like the hands to be more visible in the dark, not that it's bad, I just have to concentrate more than I expected. This might be a "be careful what you ask for" request though. Wouldn't want to take anything away from the beauty of the watch if that's what it meant and it's not a big deal so I changed my expectation. It's fine.
Now, one thing that does suck. The watch band is fine, made of rubber, and has great red highlights that tie in with the watch. Cool, it is what it is and I was okay with a rubber strap. However, I went out to find the same replacement strap so that I would have a backup for when this one wore out and guess what it costs? I found it discounted for $325.00. YIKES. Even the one without the fancy red highlights was $120.00. For a rubber watch strap? Wow, maybe I just don't know but I'm not liking that at all. No way am I forking over $325.00 for a rubber strap.
So, should you have one? Well,if you can have anything you want then why not? What's not to like? I know I will enjoy this watch in my collection and smile at the thought of who will treasure it after I'm gone. They will surely say my Dad liked nice things. ;)
